The  Department  of  Home  Economics  at  the  University  of  California 
desires  and  intends  at  all  times  to  co-operate  with  those  engaged  in 
teaching  this  subject  in  the  schools  of  the  state.  At  the  same  time  the 
department  must  satisfy  the  academic  requirements  of  the  University 
for  the  bachelor  ^s  degree.  A careful  survey  of  the  relationship  of  the 
secondary  school  work  to  that  of  the  University  will  show  that  there  is 
every  possibility  for  such  co-operation  if  the  admission  requirements  of 
the  University,  as  stated  in  the  Circular  of  Information  for  August,  1917, 
are  thoroughly  understood  and  complied  with. 

The  aim  of  this  statement,  therefore,  is  to  amplify  and  make  clear  to 
those  wishing  such  information  the  requirements  therein  specified. 

The  present  condition  of  Home  Economics  work  done  in  secondary 
schools,  so  far  as  recognition  by  the  University  of  California  is  concerned, 
is  as  follows:  Of  the  45  units  required  for  matriculation,  9,  or  one-fifth 
of  the  whole,  may  be  in  Home  Economics.  The  other  units  are  divided 
thus:  English  must  represent  6 units,  or  two-fifteenths  of  the  whole; 
Mathematics,  6 units,  or  two-fifteenths  of  the  whole;  History,  3 units,  or 
one-fifteenth  of  the  whole;  Foreign  Languages,  6 units,  or  two-fifteenths; 
Natural  Science,  3 units,  or  one-fifteenth;  additional  advanced  work  in 
Foreign  Languages,  Mathematics,  or  Natural  Science,  6 units,  or  two- 
fifteenths;  other  allowed  electives,  6 units,  or  two-fifteenths.  It  is  thus 
possible  for  Home  Economics  matriculation  credit  to  be  presented  in  as 
large  amount  as  any  two  subjects  chosen  from  English,  Mathematics, 
Foreign  Languages,  History,  or  Natural  Sciences. 

The  reason  for  the  limitation  of  credits  from  the  so-called  vocational 
subjects  to  9 units,  reckoned  on  the  secondary  school  basis,  is  inherent 
in  the  nature  of  University  degree  work.  The  obvious  fundamentals, 
without  which  constructive  work  cannot  be  undertaken  in  the  University 
regardless  of  the  curriculum  chosen,  are  English,  Mathematics,  Foreign 
Language,  History  and  Natural  Sciences.  In  order  that  the  minimum 
satisfactory  training  in  these  subjects  shall  be  provided,  at  least  24  units- 
must  be  specified.  Of  the  21  units  remaining,  6 are  required  for  advanced 
work  in  one  of  these  fundamental  subjects  already  mentioned.  The 
secondary  school  student  should,  in  the  opinion  of  the  University,  have 
some  acquaintance  with  the  methods  and  the  materials  involved  in  the 
prosecution  of  at  least  one  important  study  beyond  the  most  elementary 


4 


stage.  That  this  advanced  work  must  be  confined  to  the  fundamentals, 
and  not  carried  on  in  the  Home  Economics  field,  for  example,  is  a re- 
quirement based  again  upon  the  assumption  that  university  degree  work 
must  consist  largely  of  such  fundamentals,  and  only  in  the  later  years 
of  the  applications  growing  out  of  them. 

Of  the  15  units  remaining  as  electives,  9 may  be  in  Home  Economics 
or  similar  fields,  and  6 must  again  be  chosen  from  the  important  subjects 
listed  above.  If  all  15  units  were  to  be  chosen  from  vocational  subjects, 
one-third  of  the  total  preparation  of  the  student  for  the  University  pos- 
sibly might  be  devoted  to  material  which  is  ordinarily  not  of  direct 
academic  value.  This  would  result  in  an  unfortunate  loss  of  time  for 
the  student,  brought  about  by  the  necessity  for  becoming  familiar  with 
the  elementary  parts  of  certain  indispensable  subjects  during  the  valu- 
able University  years.  Thus,  for  example,  the  ability  to  read  such  foreign 
languages  as  French  and  German  should  be  part  of  the  equipment  of  the 
entering  first-year  student,  to  be  used  as  a tool  in  the  study  of  the  liter- 
ature, history,  or  scientific  contributions  of  the  French  and  German 
nations.  Such  study  is  delayed  or  becomes  impossible  when  the  languages 
must  be  taken  up  for  the  first  time  in  the  University. 

When  the  study  of  Home  Economics  is  only  begun  in  the  secondary 
school,  and  continued  in  the  University  or  in  the  intelligent  experience  of 
the  university  graduate,  such  a loss  of  time  does  not  occur.  No  founda- 
tions are  neglected  if  the  Home  Economics  secondary  school  work  is 
slighted,  for  the  foundations  concerned  are  embraced  in  the  study  of 
natural  science  and  economics. 

The  problem  of  such  intensive  applied  work  for  the  girl  who  does  not 
go  on  to  the  University  is,  of  course,  a totally  separate  problem  upon 
which  this  discussion  cannot  touch.  The  girls  preparing  for  the  Uni- 
versity may  be  divided  into  the  two  classes:  those  who  go  on  with  the 
study  of  Home  Economics,  or  of  related  subjects  in  the  University,  and 
those  who  do  not. 

The  two  divisions  of  Home  Economics,  Household  Art  and  Household 
Science,  are  so  diverse  in  character  that  for  the  university  student  proper 
study  of  the  one  precludes  anything  but  a cursory  knowledge  of  the  other. 
This  is  quite  obviously  and  correctly  not  the  case  in  the  secondary  school. 
If  units  are  presented  for  entry  to  both  divisions  of  the  Home  Economics 
Department,  that  one  of  them  which  is  not  to  be  pursued  further  in  the 
University  may  preferably  be  given  the  extra  year  of  work  in  the  high 
school.  For  the  student  intending  to  major  in  Household  Science  extra 
credits  in  chemistry,  physics,  or  physiology  may  well  be  considered  more 
valuable  than  extra  units  from  cooking  or  dietetics  courses. 

For  the  second  class  of  students,  those  who  do  not  take  further  work 
in  Home  Economics  in  the  University,  the  case  is  merely  negative.

If  so  generous  an  allotment  as  9 units,  or  three  years  ^ work,  is  to  be 
accepted,  then  some  standard  should  be  set  for  the  character  of  that 
work,  and  good  and  bad  secondary  school  courses  should  not  be  longer 
rated  indiscriminately  as  of  equal  value. 

The  Circular  of  Information,  page  90,  under  ^ ^ Food  Preparation,  ^ ^ 
Subject  I8d,  gives  the  requirement  for  Household  Science. 

^ ^ The  requirement  represents  at  least  a daily  exercise  during  one  or 
two  school  years,  which  falls  within  the  last  two  years  of  preparation  for 
college,  and  which  is  preceded  or  accompanied  by  such  a course  in 
Chemistry  or  Physics  as  satisfies  the  requirements  of  subjects  II  or  12h. 
A notebook  (see  under  Physics)  is  required. 

On  page  66  recommendations  for  various  curricula  will  be  found. 
^^Home  Economics:  leading  to  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Arts  in  House- 
hold Science.  Required:  Group  I,  with  Chemistry  (12&).  Recommended: 
Physics  (II),  Industrial  Arts  (I8d,  6 units). 

This  requirement  need  in  no  way  cause  injustice  to  the  student, 
since  the  natural  sciences  mentioned  are  part  of  the  general  admission 
requirements  already  in  force.  Thus  that  part  of  secondary  school 
Home  Economics  work  which  is  concerned  with  foods  and  cooking  must 
be  made  to  conform  with  a given  standard  in  order  to  be  accepted  as 
admission  credit.  Other  cooking  courses  naturally  would  be  offered  for 
younger  students  and  for  those  whose  desire  or  capacity  does  not  include 
scientific  training  or  entrance  to  the  University.  However,  since  such 
work  is  already  being  offered  in  most  of  the  elementary  schools,  there 
would  appear  to  be  very  little  reason  for  including  it  in  the  secondary 
school  schedule,  if  such  inclusion  means  the  exclusion  of  the  scientifically 
directed  courses  described  above. 

The  chemistry  course  acceptable  as  prerequisite  to  the  accredited 
cooking  course  cannot  be  in  the  nature  of  a so-called  domestic  chemistry 
course,  since  here  again  the  spirit  of  pursuit  of  fundamentals  is  not 
observed.  The  value  of  compromise  courses  of  this  character  is  debat- 
able under  any  conditions,  and  their  elimination  from  the  secondary 
school  curriculum  is  well  worth  considering.  Their  content  may  reason- 
ably be  included  in  the  cooking  course,  if  there  be  required  a definitely 
outlined  prerequisite  course  in  those  essentials  of  chemistry  and  physics 
which  are  now  more  and  more  closely  drawn  together  in  the  best  teaching. 

For  requirements  on  the  Household  Art  side  of  Home  Economics, 
reference  should  be  made  to  the  Circular  of  Information,  page  66,  under 
recommendations  for  various  curricula.

Elective  15 

(These  may  include  not  more  than  9 units  chosen  from  subjects 
18  to  21  and  high  school  subjects  not  listed  by  the  University.) 

Total  45  units 

The  candidate  for  admission  must  have  chosen  his  preparatory  subjects 
in  such  a way  as  to  have  a total  of  12  units  of  advanced^’  subjects. 
Advanced  subjects  are  as  follows:  4a^,  4a^,  45,  5,  7,  9,  11,  12  (excluding 

* The  numbers  in  parentheses  refer  to  the  matriculation  subjects  listed  on  a pre- 
ceding page ; for  example,  2 is  plane  geometry. 

t The  University  does  not  offer  courses  equivalent  to  subject  6 (elementary  Latin), 
This  subject  must  be  taken  in  the  high  school,  if  at  all.  Elementary  physics  and 
elementary  chemistr^’'  are  offered  in  the  summer  session  of  the  University,  but  not  in 
the  fall  or  spring  sessions.

sciences  given  in  the  first  and  second  years  of  the  high  school),  135,  14, 
15a^  15a^  155^  155",  15c^  15c". 

It  will  be  seen  readily  that  by  a selection  of  alternatives  students 
may,  in  covering  the  minimum  requirements  for  entrance  to  the  College 
of  Letters  and  Science,  by  the  same  courses  prepare  for  college  work  in 
specific  subjects  classed  under  Household  Art,  such  as  the  Study  of 
Textiles,  for  which  Natural  Science,  Chemistry  (125)  should  be  chosen, 
also  Botany  (12c),  which  may  be  included  under  Additional  Laboratory 
Science.  ’ ^ 

Of  the  9 units  allowed  for  electives  it  is  recommended  that  3 to  6 
units  (University  units)*  be  offered  in  Clothing’^  (18c)  and  Shelter’^ 
(18c),  Circular  of  Information,  page  90. 

18c.  Clothing.  (From  3 to  6 units.) 

All  study  which  may  be  classed  under  this  heading,  whether  of  garment- 
making or  millinery,  should  be  based  upon  a careful  study  of  the  pro- 
portions of  the  figure  to  be  fitted  and  of  the  principles  of  construction 
underlying  the  making  of  such  garments,  with  emphasis  upon  the  choice 
of  texture  and  color  in  serviceable  and  suitable  material.  Emphasis 
should  also  be  laid  upon  efficient  workmanship  in  carrying  out  these 
processes. 

This  work  should  represent  a daily  exercise  for  two  school  years, 
preferably  during  the  last  two  years  of  preparation  for  the  University. 

Elementary  sewing  courses  should  include  practice  in  mending,  in 
renovation  of  clothing,  in  preparation  and  care  of  household  fabrics,  in 
the  making  of  underwear,  simple  dresses,  and  infant  layettes,  with  con- 
sideration of  the  purchase  of  suitable  material  for  all  of  these  problems. 
A brief  introduction  to  the  study  of  fibers  and  their  production  should  be 
correlated  with  the  course  in  geography;  especially  should  cotton  and  flax 
be  considered  with  this  course,  since  they  constitute  the  materials  chiefly 
used  in  elementary  work. 

Advanced  sewing  courses  should  include  the  principles  of  construction 
as  applied  to  dressmaking:  (1)  through  the  skillful  and  appropriate  use 
of  ready-made  paper  patterns,  (2)  by  problems  in  simple  drafting  of 
typical  forms  and  the  adaptation  of  these  to  other  forms  and  to  the 
prevailing  style,  (3)  through  practice  in  modeling  on  the  form  in  tissue 
paper,  cambric,  crinoline  or  unbleached  muslin,  with  careful  study  of 
the  proportions  of  the  figure  to  be  fitted  and  the  selection  of  suitable 

* Units  of  Credit. — The  amount  of  work  represented  both  by  preparatory  or  high 
school  subjects  and  by  the  University  courses  is  specified  quantitatively.  In  the 
University  a unit  signifies  one  hour  per  week  of  recitation  or  lecture,  with  preparation 
therefor,  during  one  half-year.  A course  of  study  taken  in  the  preparatory  school  for 
one  year  at  five  periods  per  week  is  valued  at  3 units.  Laboratory  hours  not  requiring 
preparation  are  estimated  at  a lower  rate  than  recitations  and  lectures.

material  for  some  of  the  models  so  designed  to  be  carried  out  as  finished 
garments.  Silk  and  woolen  materials  should  be  used  in  many  of  these 
problems  and  discussion  of  them  as  the  two  remaining  important  fibers 
in  commercial  production  and  manufacture  should  be  included. 

Tailoring  courses  should  include  the  cutting,  inner  construction,  fitting 
and  finishing  with  good  technique  of  at  least  one  street  suit  (a  coat  and 
skirt)  preferably  of  wool,  or  a sport  suit  of  wool. 

18e.  Shelter.  (1%  units.) 

Housing,  separate  and  collective,  with  elementary  problems  in  sanitation, 
house  management  and  the  choice  and  purchase  of  equipment. 

The  school  work  in  textiles  should  always  be  given  in  connection  with 
the  sewing  courses  and  should  be  chiefiy  concerned  with  the  selection  and 
choice  of  suitable  materials  for  the  purpose  in  hand,  with  explanation  of 
their  relative  merits  from  the  standpoint  of  fiber  (cotton,  fiax,  wool,  and 
silk),  texture,  durability,  modes  of  manufacture  and  the  corresponding 
ratio  in  price  as  offered  by  the  retail  trade  today.  Simple  chemical  tests 
using  common  household  acids  and  alkalis,  as  well  as  physical  tests, 
should  be  given  in  order  to  distinguish  these  fibers  in  their  purity,  or 
adulteration  for  the  sake  of  cheaper  production. 

The  best  use  of  material  and  the  prevention  of  waste  taught  by 
problems  in  the  care  and  renovation  of  garments  and  household  fabrics 
is  of  the  utmost  importance,  as  is  evidenced  today  in  the  industrial  and 
economics  experience  of  the  nations  at  war. 

The  tailoring  problem  is  of  the  utmost  importance.  It  establishes  a 
standard  of  workmanship  and  construction  which  ordinary  sewing  and 
dressmaking  do  not  accomplish.  Girls  so  equipped  have  an  excellent 
foundation  with  which  to  meet  these  needs  of  every-day  life,  when 
leaving  school,  whether  to  become  home-makers,  business  women,  or 
teachers  of  this  subject.  If  the  procedure  outlined  in  the  foregoing  quo- 
tation from  the  Circular  of  Information  under  Advanced  Sewing  is 
faithfully  followed  in  secondary  school  courses,  with  the  addition  of 
tailoring  problems  for  the  mature  students  who  intend  to  matriculate  for 
a university  course,  we  shall  have  as  a result  a good  foundation  upon 
which  to  build  the  college  work  in  Original  Costume  Design,  which  can 
only  be  accomplished  successfully  after  years  of  experience  in  drawing 
and  designing  with  pencil  and  brush,  as  well  as  by  the  technical  ex- 
perience acquired  through  the  handling  of  real  materials  in  practical 
problems  such  as  sewing,  drafting,  cutting,  fitting,  and  finishing  of  actual 
garments. 

The  wise  selection  from  and  adaptation  of  ready-made  paper  patterns 
and  of  the  styles  offered  by  reputable  fashion  magazines  furnish  ample 
opportunity  in  school  work  for  establishing  standards  of  taste,  common 
sense  and  distinction  in  dress.

Much  might  be  accomplished  in  this  connection  by  teachers  who  are 
familiar  with  the  History  and  Art  and  of  Costume  by  placing  color  re- 
productions of  portraits  by  great  masters  on  the  walls  of  the  classroom. 
These  portraits  might  be  used  to  illustrate  the  use  and  combination  of  fabrics 
of  which  the  students  will  have  learned  the  names  and  textures  in  their 
sewing  and  textile  lessons.  They  may  be  used  also  to  illustrate  the 
types  and  styles  of  beauty  which  have  become  standards  by  which  to 
measure  the  extremes  of  quality,  and  the  good  or  bad  taste  resulting 
therefrom. 

The  present  day  magazines  offer  so  many  excellent  reproductions  that 
teachers  may,  with  a very  small  outlay  of  money,  provide  themselves  with 
such  illustrative  material.  Much  interesting  material  on  the  craftsman 
side  of  decorative  art  may  be  gathered  by  the  teachers  by  visiting  the 
museums  of  the  Affiliated  Colleges  of  San  Francisco,  Golden  Gate  Park, 
and  the  Oakland  Museum  on  Lake  Merritt. 

A further  choice  of  electives  is  recommended,  namely,  subject  17, 
Mechanical  Drawing,  and  subject  16,  Freehand  Drawing.  With  the  latter 
course,  simple  design  in  black  and  white  and  color,  with  problems  of 
spacing,  may  well  be  included.  Such  problems  should  aim  to  cultivate 
in  the  minds  of  students  the  sense  of  proportion  and  of  fitness,  without 
which  no  good  work  can  be  accomplished  in  either  elementary  or  ad- 
vanced work. 

The  practical  work  of  construction  is  simply  another  medium  in 
which  design  may  be  expressed.  These  mediums,  namely,  drawing  and 
construction,  enrich  one  another  infinitely,  in  fact,  neither  is  complete 
without  the  other  when  the  actual  professional  work  of  teaching  or  de- 
signing is  to  be  undertaken. 

A correlation  of  these  courses  is  most  desirable,  since  they  may  be- 
come mutually  helpful  in  high  degree. 

It  is  commonly  understood  by  numbers  of  persons  outside  the  Uni- 
versity that  no  Household  Art  work  is  available  during  the  first  and 
second  years.  It  is  true  that  no  work  is  so  specified,  but  those  years 
may  be  definitely  filled  with  prerequisite  work  which  not  only  is  necessary 
for  the  Junior  Certificate  but  which  offers  preparation  in  Drawing, 
Graphic  Art,  History,  Economics,  languages,  all  of  which  lead  directly 
to  the  advanced  work  of  the  upper  division  and  the  graduate  years  in 
the  History  of  Costume,  Life  Drawing,  Original  Costume  Design  in  Ma- 
terials, Textile  Analysis,  and  all  the  courses  which  carry  forward  the 
study  of  Housing  questions,  viz..  House  Furnishing,  Plumbing  and 
Sanitation,  and  House  Management. 

A similar  condition  prevails  with  regard  to  lower  division  work  in 
Household  Science.  As  was  shown  at  the  beginning  of  this  statement, 
courses  in  applied  science  must  be  either  frankly  didactic  and  utilitarian.

and  therefore  of  a character  suitable  for  presentation  in  the  secondary 
school  or  industrial  institutions;  or  they  must  be  built  upon  a thorough 
training  in  the  underlying  sciences  involved.  Such  thorough  training  can 
only  be  begun  in  the  high  school,  and  can  scarcely  be  considered  com- 
pleted in  the  lower  division  of  the  University.  If  the  university  work 
in  Household  Science  is  to  be  of  the  latter  variety,  lower  division  courses 
in  that  department  must  be  considered  unnecessary  and  anomalous.  The 
first  two  years  of  the  student  ^s  residence  at  the  University  are,  therefore, 
occupied  with  the  indispensable  study  of  courses  in  chemistry,  bacteri- 
ology, physiology,  and  economics. 

The  following  statements  are  quoted  from  the  Circular  of  Information, 
pages  111-117,  and  the  Announcement  of  Courses,  pages  142-147,  for 
1917-18,  concerning  the  work  in  Home  Economics  which  may  be  under- 
taken in  the  University. 


COLLEGE  OF  LETTERS  AND  SCIENCE 
Lower  Division 

The  work  of  the  lower  division  comprises  the  studies  of  the  freshman 
and  sophomore  years.  The  junior  certificate  marks  the  transition  from 
the  lower  division  to  the  upper  division  of  the  undergraduate  course. 

All  candidates  for  the  bachelor  ^s  degree  in  the  College  of  Letters  and 
Science  must  qualify  for  the  junior  certificate  before  proceeding  to  the 
upper  division.  Concerning  upper  division  requirements,  see  Upper  Division, 
in  later  pages  of  this  circular. 

Amount  of  Credit  Bequired. — For  the  junior  certificate,  64  units  of 
university  work  are  required,  in  addition  to  subjects  A and  B,  and  in 
addition  to  the  45  units  required  for  matriculation,  making  a total  of 
109  units.  A surplus  matriculation  credit  does  not  reduce  the  amount  of 
work  (normally  64)  required  in  the  lower  division,  except  under  condi- 
tions specified  in  the  section  pertaining  to  surplus  matriculation  credit 
as  given  on  page  70.  These  64  units  of  lower  division  credit  may  normally 
be  completed  in  two  years,  but  students  are  required  to  remain  in  the 
lower  division  only  until  they  are  able  to  complete  the  requirements  for 
the  junior  certificate.  Students  in  the  lower  division  may,  with  the 
approval  of  the  study-lists  committee,  take  as  high  as  19  units  of  uni- 
versity work  per  half-year,  in  addition  to  the  prescribed  courses  in  mili- 
tary science,  physical  education,  and  hygiene. 

But  the  number  of  units  which  the  student  must  average  term  by  term, 
in  order  to  complete  in  two  years  the  work  of  the  lower  division,  is 
sixteen.  Regular  students,  then,  ought  not  to  take  much  less  than  sixteen 
units,  and  beginners  should  not  attempt  more  without  official  advice.

Honorable  Mentio^i  with  the  Junior  Certificate ; Candidacy  for  Honors. — 
Honorable  mention  with  the  junior  certificate  is  awarded  to  students  who 
have  attained  at  least  second  grade  in  forty-eight  (48)  units  of  their 
freshman  and  sophomore  courses.  The  list  of  students  who  receive 
honorable  mention  with  the  junior  certificate  is  published,  and  this  list 
is  sent  to  members  of  the  faculty  of  Letters  and  Science  and  to  pros- 
pective students  of  the  junior  class.  A student  whose  name  appears 
upon  this  list,  unless  he  prefer  not  to  enter  for  honors,  should  at  the 
beginning  of  his  junior  year  report  immediately  to  the  department  of 
his  major  work.  The  department  will  advise  him  in  the  choice  of  his 
studies  and  will  specifically  approve  all  courses  taken  in  the  department. 
Concerning  procedure  in  candidacy  for  honors,  see  Upper  Division,  in 
later  pages  of  this  circular. 

'Subject  A,  oral  and  written  expression  in  English,  is  a requirement 
for  junior  standing  in  all  colleges  and  courses  at  Berkeley,  including  the 
colleges  of  engineering  and  chemistry.  It  applies  to  students  who  grad- 
uate by  the  junior  certificate  plan  as  well  as  to  those  who  graduate  with- 
out the  junior  certificate.  The  requirement  is  additional  to  the  ^ ^ courses  ’ ’ 
or  ^ ^ units  in  English  and  other  subjects,  tabulated  below,  and  can  be 
satisfied  only  by  passing  an  examination.  This  examination  is  given 
each  half-year  shortly  after  the  opening  of  the  session.  Every  intrant 
admitted  to  regular  first-year  or  second-year  standing  is  required  to  take 
an  examination  in  subject  A during  his  first  half-year.  Failure  to  take 
the  examination  in  subject  A at  the  time  required,  or  failure  to  pass,  has 
the  same  effect  upon  the  student  ^s  standing  as  a failure  to  pass  in  an 
ordinary  course. 

Subject  B. — (a)  For  the  Junior  Certificate.  The  junior  certificate  will 
be  granted  only  to  such  candidates  as  shall  demonstrate  their  ability 
to  read  intelligently  a piece  of  ordinary  prose  in  French,  German,  Greek, 
Italian,  Latin,  or  Spanish,  and  to  render  it  into  good  English.  Students 
should  concentrate  on  one  foreign  language  (the  one  needed  in  future 
work)  and  should  make  use  of  this  language  as  soon  as  possible.  This 
requirement,  like  subject  A,  is  not  to  be  satisfied  by  the  mere  completion 
of  courses  or  units;  it  may  be  satisfied  only  by  passing  an  examination 
set  by  a university  committee.  This  requirement  is  known  as  Subject 
B.  Students  who  have  entered  the  University  from  institutions  in  a 
foreign  country,  in  which  the  language  of  instruction  is  other  than  English, 
may,  at  the  discretion  of  the  Committee  on  Credentials,  be  permitted  to 
substitute  for  the  regular  examination  in  subject  B an  examination  which 
shall  consist  of  translation  into  the  language  in  which  their  preparatory 
training  has  been  received  of  a passage  of  English  or  a passage  of  French. 
German,  Greek,  Italian,  Latin,  or  Spanish.

(h)  For  Honors.  Each  department  is  authorized  to  require  of  students 
who  wish  to  be  candidates  for  honors  in  that  department,  in  addition  to 
the  prerequisites  for  specific  courses,  a reading  knowledge  of  one  of  the 
foreign  languages  mentioned  in  the  preceding  paragraph.  Individual 
instructors  may  make  such  further  language  requirements  for  specific 
courses  as  they  deem  wise,  but  such  requirements  shall  be  explicitly  stated 
in  the  Announcement  of  Courses. 

All  matriculation  deficiencies  must  be  removed  before  the  student  leaves 
the  lower  division.  Students  who  do  not  take  military  science,  physical 
education,  or  hygiene  must  make  up  the  deficiency  in  hours  in  other 
departments  of  study. 

1.  Matriculation. — The  candidate  for  admission  must  have  chosen  his 
45  units  in  such  a way  as  to  have  a total  of  12  units  of  subjects  designated 
as  ^ ^ advanced,  ^ ^ including  one  of  the  following  sciences,  if  taken  with 
laboratory  work,  in  the  third  or  fourth  year  of  the  high  school  course: 
physics,  chemistry,  botany,  zoology,  physiology.  Students  who  enter  the 
University  without  the  required  work  in  science  may  remove  this  de- 
ficiency only  by  taking  additional  work  in  science  after  admission;  a 
matriculation  deficiency  in  chemistry  or  physics  can  be  made  up  in  the 
University  only  during  the  summer  session.  The  preparatory  subjects 
listed  as  advanced  are  4,  5,  7,  9,  11,  12  (excluding  the  sciences  of  the 
first  and  second  years  of  the  high  school),  13h,  14..  15a®,  15a^  15h®,  15h% 
15c®,  15c". 

Of  foreign  language  (Greek,  Latin,  German,  etc.)  the  student  must 
have  credit  for  12  units,  unless  he  has  credit  also  for  intermediate  or 
advanced  mathematics  or  surplus  advanced  science,  in  which  case  not  to 
exceed  6 units  of  such  work  in  science  or  mathematics  or  a combination 
of  the  two  may  be  substituted  for  an  equal  amount  of  foreign  language. 

Applicants  who  expect  to  take  up  courses  of  study  presupposing  a 
knowledge  of  the  elements  of  physics  or  chemistry,  with  laboratory 
practice  (matriculation  subjects  11,  12h),  should  take  this  work  either 
during  the  high  school  course  or  during  the  university  summer  sessions. 
No  equivalent  for  this  work  is  offered  during  the  regular  sessions  of  the 
University.  Applicants  for  courses  of  study  requiring  matriculation 
Latin,  subject  6,  should  notice  that  the  University  does  not  offer  instruc- 
tion in  this  subject  in  any  session.  See  Eecommendations  for  the  Various 
Curricula,  under  Admission  Eequirements,  above. 

2.  Plan  A. — The  requirements  in  mathematics  and  logic  are  as  follows: 
A total  of  12  units  in  mathematics,  or  in  mathematics  and  logic,  with 
the  following  restrictions:  there  must  be  a minimum  of  6 units  of  mathe- 
matics for  matriculation  (subjects  2,  3);  those  who  enter  the  University 
with  but  6 units  of  mathematics  must  complete  the  required  12  units 


by  taking  either  6 units  in  mathematics  alone,  or  6 units  in  logic  alone; 
those  who  bring  more  than  6 and  less  than  12  units  of  mathematics  for 
matriculation  may  complete  the  required  12  units  either  in  mathematics, 
or  in  logic,  or  in  a combination  of  the  two.  For  students  who  in  any 
half-year  complete  a five-unit  lower  division  course  in  mathematics,  the 
prescription  in  mathematics  is  reduced  by  one  (1)  unit  for  each  five-unit 
course  so  taken. 

3.  Flan  B. — Students  in  this  group  must  have  credit  for  12  units  in 
mathematics,  without  alternative  for  any  part  thereof.  For  students, 
who  in  any  half-year  complete  a five-unit  lower  division  course  in  mathe- 
matics, the  prescription  in  mathematics  is  reduced  by  one  (1)  unit  for 
each  five-unit  course  so  taken. 

Borne  Economics. — Students  who  intend  to  do  advanced  work  in  House- 
hold Art  should  have  completed  the  requirements  for  the  junior  certificate- 
in  the  College  of  Letters  and  Science,  including  matriculation  subjects; 
18c  and  18c  or  their  equivalents,  and  botany,  chemistry,  and  drawing 
(subjects  12c  and  12b  and  16),  Graphic  Art  6,  History  1a-1b,  Economics 
1a-1b.  Courses  recommended:  Chemistry  1a-1b  and  Graphic  Art  14a-14b, 
Architecture  5,  Political  Science  1a,  1b,  Drawing  9.  Students  who  intend 
to  specialize  in  house  furnishing  should  take  in  addition  Drawing  CD; 
Drawing  3a,  3b,  and  3c  are  recommended.  Students  who  intend  to  spec- 
ialize in  scientific  study  of  textiles  should  take  Chemistry  1a-1b. 

To  enter  on  advanced  work  in  Household  Science  the  student  should 
have  completed  the  requirements  for  the  junior  certificate  in  the  College 
of  Letters  and  Science,  including  matriculation  subject  18d,  Chemistry 
1a-1b,  5,  8a-8b;  Economics  1a-1b.  Political  Science  1a,  1b,  Physiology  1,, 
and  Bacteriology  1 are  strongly  recommended. 

See  Junior  College  Bulletin  of  the  University  of  California  for  sug- 
gested schedules  of  Home  Economics. 


Upper  Division 

Students  will  not  be  registered  in  the  upper  division  until  all  matric- 
ulation and  lower  division  requirements  have  been  completed. 

The  minimum  requirements  for  graduation  which  must  be  satisfied  by 
all  students  during  their  residence  in  the  upper  division  are  as  follows: 

1.  Except  as  provided  below,  the  work  of  the  upper  division  must  be 
extended  over  a period  of  not  less  than  two  years’  residence.*  Two 
summer  sessions  are  equivalent  in  point  of  residence  to  one  half-year. 

* This  rule  may,  in  exceptional  cases,  be  set  aside;  but  only  on  condition  that  the 
student  devote  more  than  four  years  to  the  completion  of  the  undergraduate  curriculum. 
The  requirement  of  two  years  of  residence  in  the  upper  division  does  not  apply  to^ 
students  who  receive  honors  at  graduation. 


14 


Study-list  limits  per  half-year  in  the  upper  division,  12-16  units;  summer 
session,  4-6  units. 

2.  The  amount  of  work  done  by  each  student  must  be  sufficient,  when 
added  to  that  already  completed  by  him  in  the  lower  division,  to  amount 
to  124  units. 

3.  At  least  36  units  of  work  must  be  done  in  major  courses  (i.e.,  in 
courses  designated  by  the  numbers  100-199),  in  any  of  the  following 
departments: 

Agriculture 
Anatomy 
Anthropology 
Architecture 
Astronomy 

Biochemistry  and  Pharmacology

Drawing  and  Art 
Economics 
Education 
English 
Geography 

Geology  and  Mineralogy 
German 
Greek 
History 

Home  Economics 
Hygiene 
Irrigation 

4.  At  least  12  of  the  36  units  required  under  (3)  must  be  taken  in 
the  major  courses  of  a single  department,  exclusive  of  the  departments 
of  Agriculture,  Mechanical  Engineering,  Mining,  Civil  Engineering,  and 
Irrigation.

Gertrude  Percival,  A.B.,  Assistant  in  Household  Art. 

Edith  L.  Brovin,  M.S.,  Laboratory  Assistant  in  Household  Science. 


Two  distinct  courses  of  study  are  offered  under  the  general  head  of 
Home  Economics,  one  in  Household  Art  and  the  other  in  Household 
Science.  These  two  courses  may  be  combined  by  the  individual  student 
with  the  consent  of  the  department.  Such  a combination  is  often  imprac- 
ticable, however,  on  account  of  the  prerequisite  drawing  and  design  on 
the  one  hand  and  the  prerequisite  chemistry  on  the  other.  Students 
who  wish  to  enter  upon  either  of  these  courses  of  study  or  upon  a 
combination  of  the  two  are  urged  to  include  in  their  work  for  matricu- 
lation, elementary  chemistry,  freehand  drawing,  cooking,  and  sewing  as 
described  under  subjects  12h,  16,  and  18  in  the  Circular  of  Information, 
Academic  Departments. 


HOUSEHOLD  ART 

Students  who  intend  to  do  advanced  work  in  household  art  should 
have  completed  matriculation  subjects  18c  and  18c,  or  their  equivalents, 
and  botany  and  chemistry.  Lower  division  work  at  the  University  should 
include  History  1a-1b;  Economics  1a-1b;  Household  Art  122;  Graphic 
Art  6.  Courses  recommended:  Chemistry  1a-1b;  Graphic  Art  7 and  14a- 
14b  ; Drawing  9;  Architecture  5;  Political  Science  1a,  1b;  Philosophy 
36a-36b.  Students  who  intend  to  specialize  in  house  furnishing  should 
take  in  addition  Drawing  CD;  Drawing  3a,  3b,  and  3c  are  recommended. 
Such  a course  of  study  precedes  training  in  the  upper  division  for  special- 
ization in  costume  design  and  house  furnishing. 

Honor-students  in  the  Upper  Division. — Requirements  for  candidacy  for 
honors  in  household  art  at  graduation  are  as  follows: 

1.  The  creditable  completion  of  24  units  of  major  work  approved  by 
the  department. 

2.  The  continuance  of  the  honor-status,  and  the  privileges  and  oppor- 
tunities offered  to  candidates  thereby,  depends  upon  the  ability  of  the 
student  to  do  original  and  independent  work  and  upon  the  maintenance 
of  a high  standard  in  all  courses  as  well  as  in  the  special  honor-work 
undertaken. 

A reading  knowledge  of  French,  Italian,  or  German  is  most  desirable. 
The  artistic,  historic,  and  economic  aspects  of  clothing’^  and  shelter’^ 
are  possible  fields  for  study.  These  fields  may  include  the  study  of  all 


16 


types  of  decorative  and  applied  art,  the  materials  used,  and  their  past 
and  present  mode  of  manufacture,  whether  by  hand  or  machine  processes. 
Such  research  is  admirable  as  a basis  for  graduate  work  leading  toward 
a master  ^s  degree. 


UPPER  DIVISION  COURSES 

Note. — With  course  194a-194b  it  is  strongly  recommended  that  parallel

HOUSEHOLD  SCIENCE 

Students  who  wish  to  do  advanced  workHh' household  science  should 
have  completed  matriculation  subject  ISd.  Courses  in  elementary  and 
advanced  cooking  are  not  offered  in  the  fall  or  spring  sessions  of  the 
University;  they  may,  however,  be  taken  during  the  summer  session. 
The  lower  division  requirements  are  Chemistry  1a-1b,  5,  8a-8b;  Economics 
1a-1b.  Political  Science  1a,  1b,  Bacteriology  1,  Physiology  1 are  strongly 
recommended.  Such  a course  of  study  precedes  training  in  the  upper 
division  for  specialization  in  food  economics  or  dietetics. 

Honor- Students  in  the  Upper  Division. — Students  who  are  eligible  for 
the  honor-status  are  urged  to  enroll  at  the  beginning  of  their  third  or 
junior  year.  The  recommended  sequence  of  courses  for  such  students  is 
as  follows:  third  year,  course  101a-101b,  Biochemistry  101;  fourth  year,
